In the dim light of the cloud hanging over the US today after yet another school shooting, we've decided to publish this discussion between our youth correspondent Leo Hochberg and student artist Kopano Muhammad. Kopano shares their insight, views, and experience around gun violence and people of color.

"New Orleans has struggled with an epidemic of gun violence. New Orleans officials want to move forward with sorely needed solutions to gun violence but Louisiana state law bars its municipalities from enacting smart legislation for the people by the people. The hands of the New Orleans City Council and its mayor are tied."

It isn't just Facebook. Distraction is the rule in Public Relations and a must-have skill for Masters of Spin. Is Facebook being thrown to the wolves to protect ad dollars?

Digital media companies are shaking in their boots. Set to make over $83 Billion in digital ad revenue this year, keeping your criticisms aimed at Facebook, keeps your eyes off them. EVERY media company is doing this. What sites did you visit today? Guess what, they "mined your data".

Just 60 years ago, 80% of Americans believed the government worked in the best interests of all US citizens. Today that number is flipped and now 80% of Americans don't trust our Government nor our representatives. Our government isn't working. What's changed?

Almost everyone has realized the government isn't listening to them.

Make it Fair's goal is to help illuminate that the only people who do feel the government represents them are the very small percentage who are able to influence the government via their wealth. The corrosive effects of money in our political process is a clear threat to our democracy. Equity is key.

Unprecendented inequity in the power of the monied voices over the average citizen and these current laws, such as Citizen's United have made it so money is speech. Lots of money allows you to speak loudly. Lack of money forces you to whisper. This isn't something written in our Constitution, but interpreted by judges over time. Do you think the engine behind the judges interpretations were the poor whisperers or the shouting super wealthy?

At Make it Fair we will strive to identify and discuss the many ways money has not only influenced government, but also popular opinion. We welcome you to join in the dialogue.
